What willis mckee does

Medjet, founded in 1987 and headquartered in the United States, is a privately held membership-based provider of air medical transport, travel security, and crisis response services for travelers. Its core product, MedjetAssist, arranges medical transportation to a home-country hospital of the member's choice when the member is hospitalized 150 or more miles from home domestically or internationally, with no medical-necessity trigger and no post-transport surprise billing — distinguishing the offering from conventional travel insurance, health insurance, and platinum-card benefits that transport only to the nearest adequate facility. MedjetHorizon, the premium tier, layers in 24/7 crisis response, security evacuation, and emergency cash advances of up to $60,000, with the underlying crisis infrastructure delivered through a partnership with FocusPoint International.

The company monetizes almost entirely through recurring subscription memberships. Annual individual memberships start at roughly $315, premium annual tiers reach $444, short-term memberships begin at $99, and ancillary add-ons include a $39 Motorcycle Protection plan and a Diamond tier for travelers aged 75–84. Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer phone and online enrollment, a corporate/group sales motion, travel advisor and insurance broker referral programs that pay commissions on new and renewal business, and the AWIN affiliate network with sub-affiliates including Viglink, Skimlinks, Flex Offers, Mavely, and Brand Reward. Reinsurance and risk management are provided through Lloyd's of London, and Medjet itself does not own or operate aircraft — it contracts licensed Part 135 air carriers and coordinates medical services around each flight. The product surface is supported by a Medjet Digital Card app on iOS and Android and an eTravel Alerts portal covering 260+ countries.

Medjet's customer base is overwhelmingly individual consumers (frequent and occasional travelers, motorcyclists, senior travelers), with a developing corporate channel aimed at duty-of-care buyers. The company has been recommended or featured by Forbes, USA Today, Condé Nast, CBSN, Travel + Leisure, and Huffington Post, and endorsed by CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg and travel expert Wendy Perrin. Ownership, investor backing, revenue, and headcount are not disclosed in the available source materials.

Direct peers

• On Call International: Travel assistance and medical evacuation membership provider for leisure and business travelers; offers trip protection, emergency medical transport and security services comparable to Medjet's bundled offerings.
• International SOS: Global medical and travel security assistance company serving travelers and multinational corporations; competes head-on with Medjet in evacuation, duty-of-care and crisis response, particularly in the enterprise and government channels.
• Global Rescue: Membership-based provider of medical evacuation, travel security and crisis response for travelers — the closest direct competitor to MedjetHorizon, with overlapping product, pricing and channel (corporate and individual memberships).
• AirMed International: Air ambulance and medical transport membership program for individuals and corporate travelers; closely comparable to MedjetAssist on the transport-only membership layer, including international and domestic bed-to-bed coverage.
• REVA Air Ambulance: Fixed-wing air ambulance operator offering membership programs for international medical repatriation; overlaps Medjet's core air-medical-transport value proposition with similar long-distance, cross-border transport capability.

Broad incumbents

• World Nomads: Large incumbent travel-insurance provider that bundles emergency medical and evacuation coverage into policies sold to adventure and leisure travelers; competes for the same wallet at the point of trip purchase, though it stops at 'nearest adequate facility.'
• Allianz Travel Insurance: Major mainstream travel insurance carrier including emergency medical and evacuation benefits; competes indirectly with Medjet by absorbing some of the demand for travel medical protection through bundled insurance products.

Others

• FocusPoint International: Crisis response and security services partner powering MedjetHorizon's CAP offering; comparable capability set and a potential competitor if FocusPoint ever launched a direct-to-consumer membership product that disintermediates Medjet.
• Lloyd's of London Syndicates (medical aviation): Reinsurance and risk-bearing marketplace underwriting air-medical-evacuation risks for programs like Medjet's; relevant comparator for the risk-transfer mechanics and capital structure of Medjet's membership program rather than a direct sales competitor.

Regional players

• Assist Card: Latin American–focused travel assistance and medical evacuation membership provider serving travelers in Spanish-speaking markets; comparable offering to Medjet with overlapping international evacuation logic but geographic concentration in the Americas.
